Summary

Bonnie McFarlane returns to the pod to discuss growing up poor in rural Canada, the importance of having a prize-winning pig at the county fair, how she went from farm girl to vegan, her daughter finding her name in the Epstein files, social media journalists, the beauty and importance of live shows, the camaraderie of comments, and much more. Bonnie and Stav help callers including a woman who's concerned that her 10-year-old brother is becoming a mean, YouTube-addicted brat, and a woman who's wondering if she should return the laptop and iPhone that were gifted to her by the man she's been dating for two months.
